Subject: Truncate table 00054
Air pocket. Does anyone have any insight to this issue. I feel I am
overlooking a fundamental - or its to early in the morning.
As the owner of the table, a colleague was unable to truncate a table. (He
committed his session first), receiving a Resource Busy, ORA-00054.
I was able to delete table and commit easily from another session (as non
owner).
There are no foreign keys, it is neither a parent nor child. No unique or
primary constraints, and no indexes. (Some check constraints (not null only)).
This lock query returned no rows.
SELECT sid, DECODE( block, 0, 'NO', 'YES' ) BLOCKER,
DECODE( request, 0, 'NO', 'YES' ) WAITER
FROM v$lock
WHERE request > 0 OR block > 0
ORDER BY block DESC;
The delete worked before more investigation could be done. (Trying to force
revealing a blocker) - production db.
My search criteria for metalink and google is not returning what I need yet.
(of course I rarely search metalink well). Searching with oracle-l or ask tom
came close but no cigar.
